Hello Everyone! Please review, this is my first story, unless you count one I started earlier, but only finished on chapter. Please review! And here comes another chapter!!
Chapter 2:
Abby was walking clutching her dragon. As she passed by the Varden warriors, they stared in awe. Abby and her mother were then lead into the house of the royal family of Belatona. Abby chanced a glace at the rider.
He was tall and slender with muscle, and a light tan. He had chocolate brown eyes, and brown hair. Overall he was quite attractive. She wondered what it would be like to be a rider. I wonder what it will be like being a rider. It can't be easy. She thought, but she still thought it worth it.
Just then a big blue dragon landed beside them and stared at the baby dragon and then Abby and then proceeded in walking with them. They reached the royal family's house, and the blue dragon poked its head in a window. Everyone else proceeded through the door. The second they stepped inside all eyes were on Abby and her dragon.
Then a woman, with skin as black as night spoke up. "How? How can this be? How did you come to find the last dragon egg?" Abby told the story of how she found it while swimming. Everyone listening intently. When she was done there was silence for a while.
Then the woman spoke again. "I am Lady Nasuada, leader of the Varden. And who might you be?" Nasuada asked. "My name is Abigail, and this is my mother, Christina. We come from Belatona." Nasuada nodded. "We will have a tent setup for you both shortly. Eragon, Arya, if you wouldn't mind shower Abigail around camp?" "Not at all." This time a woman spoke. She had raven hair and green eyes. She was dressed for combat. Oh my! She's an elf! Never had Abby thought she would see an elf in person, let along walk and talk with one!
"Alright then, Eragon, discuss your plan of action for this young rider. I have much planning to do." and with that they turned to leave. "Wait one moment please. Christina was it? I will have someone else show you around camp, if you would wait a second?" Abby's mother nodded and gave Abby a faint smile and then Abby left.
Eragon showed her where the armory was, where she could get food for herself and her dragon, and everything else. Then he asked if she would accompany him to his tent. She said agreed and they headed off to Eragon's tent.
Once inside Eragon spoke. "A fine young dragon you have there. Of corse you know you will be taught the skills of the rider.?" "Yes," Abby said "I have guessed as much. How fast will my dragon grow? Will we be fighting in any battles soon?"
This time the elf answered. "No. You and your dragon are not nearly prepared enough. Eragon will fly you to Ellesmera, the city of the elves and teach you there."
Abby froze. I'm going to be with the elves! She couldn't believe it. "The elves? I have always wanted to meet an elf, and now I have. And now I will get to meet more!" Abby couldn't contain her excitement. "So when are we leaving?" Abby asked.
"Hopefully soon. I would like you to be fully trained as quick as possible. Then we can ride to battle together instead of just me on my own. We also have to wait for your dragon to grow, and dragons don't grow that fast." Then Eragon smiled. "At least I know I'm not alone anymore."
With that said Abby smiled. "So Abigail-" Arya started but Abby cut in and said "Please, call me Abby." "Alright, Abby," Arya started "do you have any training with the use of a sword or bow?"
Abby shook her head. "I'm afraid not with the sword, but I have hunted using a bow before."
Arya nodded. "Eragon, maybe one of us should search her mind." Eragon nodded and said "Well, you can do it Arya, but try not to hurt her." Then he turned to Abby. "Don't resist, or try to. It will only hurt more if you do so." Then Abby nodded.
When Arya was done searching her mind she was wide eyed. "Is there something wrong?" Arya turned to Eragon and said "She is half elf." Eragon was surprised at this.
"Don't half elves have pointed ears as well though?" Arya nodded. "Letta du skolir! (Stop the Sheild)" Arya said invoking the ancient language. There was a flash of green and Abby's whole body tingled. When she rose she saw Eragon and Arya looking at her. Eragon found a mirror of his and gave it to Abby to look at. She gasped. What happened to me!? In the mirror was a fair skinned woman with pointed ears. She just stared.
"Your father was an elf of high standing. One of the royals to be truthful. He died in battle against the black king. He disguised you before he left so none would see you as an elf." Then she turned to Eragon. "She won't be that hard to teach in magic as we thought." Eragon nodded, still a little surprised.
"We should get back to Nasuada. She will want to make sure her newest rider is most comfortable with what is required of her." And with that they were off to Speak with Nasuada.
When they got there they explained to Nasuada why she had the appearance of an elf. Satisfied Nasuada then said, "As all, or most, of you know Glabatorix has used magic to increase the growth in the red riders dragon. Arya, would you be able to descover this spell and place it over Abigail's dragon?"
"Yes my lady." Arya said. Then Eragon said "Lady Nasuada, I cannot allow this! It is not right!" Then Nasuada answered "We are in a troubled time Eragon, and this is necessary. Remember, you have sworn fealty to me, and i command you let this spell take place." Looking defeated Eragon nodded and stayed silent.
"Now, you must be tired. Eragon, could you please show her to her tent? It is two tents down from your own tent." Nasuada said. "Yes, my lady." Eragon said and with that they left the building.
Once outside, the large blue dragon approached Abby and stared at her. Then she heard in her head, Hello young one. My name is Saphira, dragon to Eragon. And who might you be? "My name is Abigail, but you may call me Abby. And this is my dragon. His name is yet to be discovered." Nice to meet you. And then she turned to the dragon and said something to it both Eragon and Abby failed to hear. Then Abby and Eragon walked to her tent, the whole while Eragon giving instructions to open up her mind to her dragon to strengthen their bond.
"Well here we are. Goodnight Abby. I will see you tomorrow. There is a wardrobe in your tent with new clothes for you." Eragon said. "Thank-you Eragon, and goodnight to you too."
And then Abby went to bed, waiting for the next day.
